~ Color My World ~

 

 

What I see when I turn into my driveway.

 

 

We finally had weather cool enough

for the trees to begin to color....

 

 

Closer to the house the color is

more golden.....

Like my "See Rock City"birdhouse?

I saw that advertisement on

barns all over northern Arkansas growing up.

 



How beautifully leaves grow old. 

How full of light and color are their last days.

I do love this time of the year!

(except, I wish I could keep Daylight Savings Time)

Til next time,

~ LEAF LOVE ~

"How silently they tumble down

And come to rest upon the ground

To lay a carpet, rich and rare,

Beneath the trees without a care,

Content to sleep, their work well done,

Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly

Until they nearly reach the sky,

Twisting, turning through the air

Till all the trees stand stark and bare.

Exhausted, drop to earth below

To wait, like children, for the snow.

Are you tired of tree pictures?

I hope not..........

The trees are spectacular here now.

I am afraid any day now, I am going

to wind up in the ditch because I have

 my eyes on the trees instead of the road!

As I write, we are actually getting some rain

and I'm afraid most of the leaves will be

on the ground after this.

I hope your part of the world has been

 as beautiful as ours this fall.

These are pictures from my yard.

Sassafras, Black Oak, Crape Myrtle and

maybe a few others are pictured today.

Till next time.......

Just a few colors of the season...........

I thought Mama would enjoy these autumn leaves.

I think I inherited my love of trees from her

and I know fall is her favorite time of the year.

It's "berry" beautiful right now.



This is the month for giving thanks.......

Today, I am thankful for this wonderful

fall weather and the beauty of our world.
